I don’t think that there is much doubt about how I feel about John. We made a great team and I enjoyed working with him immensely. It is my sincerest hope that someday we can team up again and continue what we had going.

For now, we have gone our separate ways, and John is working for KFI-AM in Los Angeles doing their imaging and production. So if you’re in the LA area you get to hear his work every day.

For the rest of us, here is a great interview he gave about what he does and some awesome samples of his work.

Enjoy!

I am so happy Staxx introduced me to John a few weeks back. John has been with iHeart since 2003, mostly spent working out of a small market in Northern California, and got connected to some good people who eventually led him to LA and KFI. I totally understand those good people, as I was just…

It is still kind of bothering me. That article a couple of weeks back about why the number of History Majors is in such a critical decline. after a bit more reading on the matter, it is true that all of the Humanities are down, but none so much as History. I wonder if the reason is a two-fold confluence of cultural touchstones. First, there is the general discrediting of history. This is necessary to avoid Santayana’s Maxim. But second is we historians shooting ourselves in the foot. The lessons of history aren’t meant to be used as a cast iron pan with which to whack people over the head with our own brilliance.

Can we find a reasonable solution before it’s too late?

Our State Governor has asked for $1.1 Billion in new taxes. To save the Orcas.

On December 14, 1972, we did (corporately) something for the final time.

This often happens to me. I start down a thought road, planning to talk about one thing, and then I get off on a different road. As Sherlock Holmes described it, I follow the thread where it leads. I had planned to talk about this weeks refusal by the Supreme Court to issue a writ of cert to hear Gee v Planned Parenthood, but I got interested in Justice Thomas’ dissent.

Understandably, he is upset at the refusal of the Court to hear the case. There are those who believe that his dissent is rooted in ideology, and it may be. Clearly, he hates abortion and would vote to overturn Roe v Wade faster than a Michael Cohen news story gets on the air. But he does make a valid point – the jurisdiction and duty of the Court, as intended by the Framers, was to resolve questions such as this case asks. Especially when there are differing opinions as to what is going on with a given law in the lower Courts.

So…

There once came a time when the economic situation was chaotic. A long war had drained national resources and there was an overabundance of land and property available for speculative deals. To that end, numerous banks began making speculative loans backed up by literally nothing. The overextension of easy credit along with declining prices of non-land goods was causing a great deal of concern. And when the crap hit the fan, all hell broke loose.

Banks panicked and began calling in loans and foreclosing on the properties.
